Ok, as some of you may know, I’ve been working and negotiating with Acura dealers in a 100 mile radius of New York City to get a good deal on the Acura RSX. Now if you know my haggling skills, you know I’m really diplomatic and aggressive when it comes to pricing.

Heres the low-down. The base model, with automatic and leather, dealer invoice price costs $20,408, while the MSRP is about $22,800. I managed to haggle this price down to $20,900 which is a mere $500 over invoice. Sweet hagglin skillz, eh?

Basic breakdown comes down to this, with 4k down payment and 2k for my car trade in value, monthly payments for 60 months come to $325 and insurance full with extended warranty and glass $279 a month. This is ontop of the $80,000 I’m taking out of my apt’s equity to help my parents pay for my sister’s college tuition. Yeah, I’m gonna be strapped for cash for a bit, but hey, it’s for the betterment of both the family as a whole. Not a bad accomplishment for a person that’s not even 23 yet. Heh. And remember, I’m working -=BACKWARDS=- on the equity from a fully paid apt. mortgage in Manhattan - an accomplishment that most don’t achieve during their lifetime!

Anyhow the car is damn sweet. They styling alone is something to drool over. This car does 0-60 MPH in a mere 6.1 sec. It does a quarter mile in 15.2 sec @ 92.7 MPH! It brakes from 60-0 in 128 ft Oh man, this is so unlike me to nearly gizzz over a car. LOL And its friggin mine mine mine! Comes standard with alloy rims, cd player, 6 speaker stereo, alarm, remote door locks, sunroof, auto climate control, 4 disc abs, and tons of other stuff. Whoooowie.

Heh - maybe I don’t need a significant other after all… I’ll have problems peeling away that smile on my face after driving this thing every day on my commute.

Had a great convo with Tammy on the phone today. Of course I was a bit buzzin from drinking a 6 pack of Mikes hard lemonade with buffalo wings with a few frinds over 4 player game of Unreal Tournament on PS2. Heh. Its funny how fucked up the game gets and how silly you run past each other without realizing it when you’re slightly buzzed. Anyhow, we had a talk over dating habits, cool places to chill in NYC, and conferencing Uma in about her job situation. Yeah… Party line on my cell phone. LOL Whole time I was, as Tammy put it, “giddy as hell” as I pretty much laughed my ass off at every little thing.

Tammy also noticed that I say bye in a “very cutesy short way,” whatever that means. I told her next time to imitate me or point it out. LOL

Also got a chinese lesson from Tammy: “wo yao nyu pung yo” LOL! Although I’m not sure if its applicable now, but maybe after I stop gizzing in my pantz over the car… LOL
